What counts as a classic film book?

Biographical book about some from the classic film era. Biography, autobiography, memoir or a collection of interviews or letters all count. Can be about an actor, actress, director or other cast or crew member.

Book about films – specific film(s), genre, film-making process, etc.

A photography or art book related to classic films, fashion, style or a particular person.

Film criticism or analysis

20th century novel that was adapted into a classic film

Novel fictionalizing a classic film or an actor/actress from old Hollywood.

How many books should you read?

You
can read one book in each category, 6 books in one category or mix it
up. Read a book you’ve never read before
or re-read an old favorite. The book can be brand new or long
out-of-print. I'm flexible about what constitutes "classic film" and I'll accept anything up until the 1970s. Beyond that, please check with me before submitting your review.

If you complete all 6 reviews by September 15th you’ll be eligible to win your choice of the following prizes:
